Verdict
CAPTAIN CESS is unexposed as a sprinter and gets the vote to make a winning start for Declan Carroll. Desert Master will be a threat if backing up his latest Doncaster second, while Bayraat also merits plenty of respect on the back of 2 good runner-up efforts at Doncaster last month. Blackjack needs monitoring in the betting back on turf after a breathing operation.

VerdictCampaigned as a miler last season but ran his best race yet dropped to a sprint trip when close second of 12 on 6f Chepstow reappearance last month (final start for Adrian Wintle). A repeat of that form would likely see him go close on his debut for the Declan Carroll yard.

VerdictMultiple all-weather winner who was also successful on turf earlier in career.

VerdictLosing streak stretches 25 runs to autumn of 2024. Creditable second at Catterick (5f, good) last month but not in the same form when fifth at Bath 11 days later.- 6. Desert MasterJ: Cam HardieT: Antony BrittainF: 85248262

VerdictThree-time all-weather winner who came as close as he ever has to breaking his duck on turf when second of 16 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 50/1) 9 days ago. Not taken lightly.
